There's nothing that says Fall and Back to School more than the start of College FOOTBALL!  Living in the South means game days are serious business!  As we approach the beginning of the season and we contemplate what we will be taking to tailgate, we thought we'd offer a few helpful suggestions.

Gold Navy Stripe Invitation

If you need an invitation, look for something in your team colors.  It doesn't always have to have a football on it.


Consider an upgrade from paper plates.  Try melamine plates in your school colors.

Chinoiserie Navy Melamine Plate

Create your own coordinating tablecloth.  We love these we found at Go Chic in Foley, AL.

Tailgate Tablecloth

We also really love their beverage tubs.  Who knew galvanized metal could be so chic?!

Oval Cut-Out Beverage Tub with Custom Band

Create some personalized styrofoam cups - try skipping the team mascot and go for a cute saying like these from LuvMyTeam!

Navy Marriage 16 oz. cups

Pack something yummy like these mini-muffulettas we found at Southern Living and don't forget to make them all cute and coordinated! Include a large batch of an icy beverage to soothe those throats from all that yelling.

Cajun Lemonade

Well, I think we now know what we'll be contributing for that first game!  GO TEAM!!
